If your company already uses Claude \u2014 for writing, analysis or coding \u2014 it is a shame that it cannot see into your accounts. Yet of all AI assistants, Claude has the shortest path to company data: the MCP protocol it uses to connect to POHODA was created by its own makers. In this guide we cover what you need, how to get connected in a few minutes and what to check on the security side.<\/p>\n
Claude supports MCP natively and has done so longer than any other AI assistant \u2014 the standard was created by Anthropic, the maker of Claude. Just give it the address of an MCP server running over POHODA in its settings and you can ask questions about your data in plain language. No programming, no exports.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
Anthropic introduced MCP (Model Context Protocol) at the end of 2024 as an open standard for connecting AI to business systems; today it is supported by ChatGPT and Microsoft too. For Claude, though, MCP is home turf: you set the connector up in both the web and desktop apps, and a connection added once works across all your conversations. What an MCP server actually does is covered in a separate article<\/a>.<\/p>\n The power is in the combination: Claude doesn’t just pull the data out, it works with it on the spot \u2014 drafting a reminder, building a table, flagging an anomaly.<\/p>\n One MCP server serves both assistants; the only differences are where you set the connector up and the plan terms. Claude’s MCP support is the longest-standing and the deepest; ChatGPT added connectors later. If your company runs on ChatGPT, we have the same guide for it<\/a> \u2014 and feel free to connect both to the same server.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n The same rules apply as for any AI connection to company data. Insist on a read-only default mode<\/strong>, the ability to restrict the agendas<\/strong> the assistant can see (never payroll), an audit log<\/strong> of every query, and a clear answer to the question of where the data is processed<\/strong> \u2014 the MCP server should run in the EU and not store your data. On business plans, Anthropic does not use conversation content to train its models.<\/p>\n Yes, custom connectors are part of the paid plans. For individuals, Pro is enough; for companies we recommend Team or Enterprise, where an administrator sets the connector up once for the whole team.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n The connector is tied to your account \u2014 you add it in the web or desktop app and can then query your data anywhere you are signed in.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n Claude only receives the data the MCP server returns for a specific query \u2014 never the whole database. On business plans, conversation content is not used to train models. The MCP server itself should run in the EU and not store data; ask your provider about that.<\/p>\n<\/details>\nWhat you will need<\/h2>\n
